| I've been trying to think of what all I have been doing since my last posts on here.... I really don't know. lol
We have started school back and it is going well. Caedmon is taking Tae Kwon Do now and he loves it! He tests for his first belt advance this evening.
Kathryn is taking Ballet and Tap this year, and she just got glasses last week. So she is doing well, she loves the dance classes, and her glasses are adorable on her!
Otherwise not much is happening. I am still in the process of cleaning out my house. What keeps happening is that as I get to deep cleaning, "things" flair up in our family. I get worried and back off. It's been crazy! I still don't know what is going on with this deep urge to clean, it makes no sense to me. However I know I am on the right track, and it will get done eventually.
Well that's pretty much it. I need to plan out this weeks meals and get my grocery list ready, so I should get off the computer!! | | |
| Life (that 4 letter word) just gets in the way... a lot! lol
I am exhausted! I don't know of a better way to describe it. I am tired, and worn out, I feel like I have been put through a ringer. My brain is mush, and I am on information overload. God has shown me more things about myself in the past 24hrs then I would ever care to mention.
I can see the road ahead of me now, and although it looks really really long, I am content. I don't remember ever being content.
I know I have work ahead of me but instead of being worried or upset at the amount of junk I need to pray through, I'm excited. Why? For the first time I think I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. It's a long way away, but I can see it. In the meantime it's a process, and I have been told today that God loves me even in the process. Even when it's gets ugly, even when I am crying to him for the hundreth time and I have on no make-up and my hair isn't done. He still loves me and the important thing is that I am working on it, and that I am being honest with Him and honest with myself.
I feel like I've been to a spa... :) which oh yeah was the theme of the conference! lol However I do feel clean, and wonderfully tired, and oh so happy. Because I have Hope, and I have Faith and I have a Father who loves me no matter what.
I'll update more later. | | |
| I hate to clean. Have I ever mentioned that before? I think I have. I really despise cleaning.
Here is the interesting part. I have this deep down in my soul desire to clean house and get rid of stuff. I can't really explain it. I hate throwing stuff out, yet bag after bag has left my house recently and I keep walking in rooms I have finished and thinking that maybe I could get rid of "that" too. I don't understand it. I thought it was just some fluke delayed spring cleaning bug.
Then we started cleaning house. The kids went wacko. They have been at each other's throats non-stop since the cleaning started. Then hubby and I started having issues with each other.
So in my small group last night I explained this and asked for prayer. My Pastor said that I was the 5th or 6th person who has told her the same story within the last few weeks. The unexplainable desire to get rid of stuff, clean house and get things in order.
I'm not sure what is going on. But at the end of it my physical house will be clean. I'm figure that also means my spiritual house is in for some cleaning too. Cleaning isn't fun.
On a side note my little girl will probably be getting glasses within a few weeks. She did not pass the eye exam part of her well-child check-up yesterday. She was pretty upset about it but I've been showing her pictures of really pretty cool ladies who wear glasses, and telling her of my strange desire to wear glasses. So now she seems excited.

| The strange thing is that there isn't any real reason for it to be. Yet here I sit completly stressed out. I can feel it just sitting on my chest. It's a horrible feeling.
On a somewhat related note The Rock is hiring for a full-time positon and pretty soon will be hiring for a part-time position. If you are interested go by the store and pick up an application. There are signs on the front doors detailing the position that we are hiring for.

| Kathryn and I had a slumber party Friday night. She finally fell asleep around 1-1:30 in the morning. That was after a marathon of Hannah Montana, and Strawberry Shortcake. We also played Mario Party together, and ate popcorn (mostly Kathryn she doesn't share much when it comes to popcorn) drank Dr Pepper and had choclate- chocolate chip cookies.
We had a really good time.
So after she finally fell asleep I was able to start making my list of books to order for this next years homeschool. I think I finally got to bed around 3:30.
Kathryn was up and watching cartoons by 6:30 the next morning. Oh to be a child! lol
I'm scared to see the total for this years school stuff. It helps that I get a nice discount because I can order through hubby's store. Even so.
Here is the run-down of the final decision. I have a few things I need to order online, but otherwise I am done.
Caedmon - 2nd Grade
Reading- Various books following the Winterpromise lists for Language Arts and Sonlight suggestions
Grammar- Growing with Grammar Grade 2
Spelling- A Reason for Spelling Level B

Vocabulary- Wordly Wise, I don't remember which book, we started it toward the end of this year
Math- Bob Jones Math Grade 2

I am really excited about this year. The kids will be doing History and Science together. The History uses a lot of living books, and looks like it will be lots of fun. It helps that I enjoy American History so it's a good place to start for me.
So the bulk of my books should be in my house by Wednesday!! Yay!!!
